UNP and Opposition leader Ranil Wickremesinghe said , the oppressive and repressive measures of this Govt. have made the people sick of voting, because they feel that their votes are being used by the Govt. to mount further sufferings on them . Of course , it is the objective of an oppressive Govt. to create this impression ,as such a Govt. thrives when the voter turnout is less. Hence, he urged all to exercise their precious right of franchise tomorrow without yielding to Govt. pressures.
